k, my car has been acting really strange, a while ago i put on my new exhaust, and zzp header/dp combo. recently i got a check engine light, this was cause of 2 fuses that were blown, when i replace the fuses, i can clear the codes and the light stays off, but the car idles really wierd, it keeps dropping to about 400-500 and then spikes up to 1.6-1.7k it keeps doing this for a while and then dies, if i pull those 2 fuses, and keep the revs up for a while, the check engine light comes back and the car idles fine again, anyone know what his could be?
i dont wanna take it to the dealer because its no longer underwarranty cause of the exhaust

 

Take it there, if they refuse you warranty work, ask them to show you how exactly the exhaust is causing your strange idle.

 

Unless they prove that your problem is due to the exhaust, they have to cover it.

 

It sounds like it might be covered by one of the TSBs, I've heard of others doing something like that. Some kind of updated reflash, I think. Your exhuast shouldn't affect it, you can fight them if they refuse.

 

dude, bolt ons cannot void your warranty...wosrt comes to worst, just drop the old exhaust on...or check to make sure your sensors are connected correctly

 

false, you can bolt on a turbo kit.
lol
and nos.
But anywho, they have to prove it voided your warranty. Most likely they won't even ask...my dealer wouldn't anyways. If you have any knowledge of cars/engines at all, the mechanics/dealers will try and outsmart you with bullcrap like"it messes up the airflow" which is a loat of ****, just tell them how it messed up your idle.
I'M HAVING PROBLEMS with my idle right now, it goes from 650-1500 and 1000-700 all the time, when i let off the gas and waht not and feels like it's gonna die.
THEy told me it was a mass air flow MAF problem. THey said it wasn't reading anymore and they ordered me a new one and i'm getting it put in and relearning the idle tomorow.

 

i just checked my maf, turns out one f the clamps i used when i did my airbox mod was ****, it sliped and the intake was leaking, i think that was screwing with the maf. so i just ordered a k&n typhoon, i decided i didnt want to have to worry about clamps and stuff slipping while im driving so i hope itl work now, thanks alot guys
+rep too all
